Track any flight in real time, and share it with the people waiting on you. True Skies follows your flight from pushback to arrival on a clean live map, tells you when to leave for the airport, and warns you about tight connections before they become a problem. Share your flight with a tap so family and friends can watch it land. And for the 40% of people who feel anxious in the air, a full set of calming tools is built right in.

They tap a link and see what you see, live. Follow your friends' and family's flights from one tab so you always know they made it. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Live Activities and the Dynamic Island keep your gate, delay, and ETA in view without opening the app. YOUR FLIGHTS, MAPPED Every flight you track is saved to your logbook and drawn on an interactive 3D globe, with stats on your miles, hours, airports, and countries. Unlock milestones along the way, from your first long-haul to your first ocean crossing. FOR NERVOUS FLYERS The first tracker built around flight anxiety, not bolted on as an afterthought. - Six guided breathing exercises, from a 30-second Quick Calm to 4-7-8 and Box Breathing, with a full-screen visual to follow - Calming audio that loops for the whole flight: deep breathing, meditation, and sleep tracks - 14 aviation safety facts that explain why turbulence, odd noises, and firm landings are completely normal - Two low-pressure games, Bubble Pop and Blocks, for when you just need a distraction - A mood dial that quietly reshapes the app around how you're feeling, with a Quick Calm button one tap away when it spikes PET FRIENDLY MODE Flying with a dog or cat takes planning, and True Skies keeps it in one place. Save a profile for each pet, then check what actually matters before you book: whether your airline takes pets in the cabin or only as cargo, the carrier size and weight limits, which airports have relief areas, lounges, or an on-site vet, and your destination country's entry rules, from microchips and rabies shots to health certificates and quarantine. Every requirement shows its source and when it was last checked.
